Donald Trump says the United States would support India if it is attacked, but he links that support to whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in charge. In comments reported by NDTV, Trump tells the outlet that if India faces an attack and “he is the leader,” the US will “be there to help.” He also adds that he would be less certain if there is a new leader. Separate reports from India Today repeat Trump’s assertion that if India is attacked and Modi is the leader, the US will be there to assist. The statements are presented as conditional—dependent on both the occurrence of an attack and Modi’s position at the time. The reports do not specify the nature of the support, any military commitments, or whether the comment reflects a formal policy change. The coverage focuses on Trump’s remarks during interviews rather than on statements from US or Indian government documents.
